True...

You can also get the 3 digit factory key code by looking on the bottom side of the locking gas cap.

But need a key to get the gas cap off

don't use the gas tank cap. The locksmith who made my keys (since when I got the bike, it had no keys) told me that the gas cap has incomplete tumblers so multiple keys can open the same cap. you need the seat lock, helmet lock, or ignition. I've used both seat lock and helmet lock. both made perfect keys. Could also be the experience of this locksmith. $15 picked up the next day.

My ignition hold the keys nice and tight, but I always have a key on it's own ring for the ignition and my normal key ring with a bike key on it in a zippered pocket (usually bc my house key is on that one too, but also just incase)

if you dont get a new ignition pull your key out after you start it and put them in your pocket while you ride.

Old vehicles are reowned for having loose ignition barrels. You can either replace it (as suggested by Ness) or put a clip of some sort on your keys. I've done the latter and clip the keys to the wiring harness on the handlebars. If they rattle loose they will just hang there until I stop.

But Zooks...where do you put the dog?

I drag him along behind me.

Had a spare key made for the GSX1100G yesterday at the local locksmith. He said the seat lock only has 5 tumblers where the ignition has 7. Total cost, $3.18. Yeah, sometimes it's nice to live in a small town.

If he is making a key from the three digit code, it does not matter which lock you get the code from.

If he is impressing a key from the lock itself, take the seat lock, helmet lock, or ignition lock.

i took in the ignition to my local zuzuki dealer adn they told my they couldnt make a key from it id have to go to a lock smith so off i went dropped my ignition off at a local locksmith and told him i needed a key and two copys so i get home with my three keys and they all work for ignition and not for the seat lock or the tank so i guess i will go tomorow back to the locksmith and see what he thinks im going to ride bike so he can pick the tank if need be to make it work oh and by the way he charged me thirty for all that and a keychain seems like a bad experiance to me but thank you all for your advice it was sound but i think i just got a dumb locksmith lol
